That event was attended by students from the Maria Trinidad Sánchez High School. Following the aforementioned discussion, Salcedo led the formal presentation of the campaign “We Dominicans Recognize Ourselves”, which included the screening of an introductory audiovisual and the explanation of its concept as an invitation to recognize oneself in the other and assume an active commitment to culture. On their side, the second activity took place at the Catholic Technological University of Barahona, where both the discussion and the exhibition and launch of the campaign were also carried out, with a notable influx of students. These meetings were consolidated as scenarios for reflection on the way we communicate and its impact on social coexistence, in line with the institutional orientation of promoting respectful and constructive language. For its part, the initiative was presented as the main announcement of the day: an effort to make visible the elements of collective memory and strengthen the sense of belonging, under the responsibility of the Ministry of Culture to promote, safeguard and transmit cultural identity to future generations.
